Get started for freeWhat is the difference between Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction? Are they different physical processes? Explain.
A fellow student, who values memorizing equations above understanding them, combines Eq. (35.4) and (35.13) to “prove” that can only equal localid="1663905625404" . How would you explain to this student that can have values other than localid="1663906387916" ?
Explain why the focal length of a plane mirror is infinite, and explain what it means for the focal point to be at infinity.
For a spherical mirror, if s = f , then s' = , and the lateral magnification m is infinite. Does this make sense? If so, what does it mean?
